A Randomized Trial Comparing Outcome of Expert Tibial Nail versus Proximal Tibial Plate in the Management of Fractures of Proximal Tibia in Adults

Both plating and expert tibial nailing offer no significant advantages over each other in terms of functional outcome in the management of proximal tibia fracture. However, Expert ILN is associated with lesser union time but with higher risks of malunion, and plating is associated with more intra-operative blood loss, higher rate of postoperative infection, and a longer length of hospital stay.
